The Obvious: It seems so appropriate to recall that old Godfather scene in which Al Pacino as Michael Corleone in anguish says, “Just when I thought I was out. They pull me back in.” The Not So Obvious: The O/NSO would imagine that USC president Dr. Carol Folt must have felt at some level she was Michael Corleone by the way things appear to have unfolded with the resignation of former athletic director Mike Bohn. Just when Folt thought she was out of the limelight and no longer the focal point of athletic department instability and integrity, she is pulled back into a maelstrom, thanks to the Mike Bohn fiasco.
